oldslapper Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) We have a very small house and double basses take up room that we really don’t have. Anyhoo, I gave my acoustic upright to a school so my mates grandson could have lessons/join orchestra/play and the EUB I also had I sold to pay for studio time for my new band. No sweat as I stopped gigging Upright a while back. However, I’d forgotten about a gig I’d committed to ages ago for the end of February, and the artist was expecting the visual of double bass and it does suit the Tom Waits style. So before I tell him it’s my fretless precision or nothing, I thought I’d see if there’s anyone who’d be willing to lend me a DB or EUB for the evening. Gig is in Yeovil, I’m in Bath. Happy to pay you. A beater that is playable is fine, preferably with a pickup. I’ve lent DBs to fellow BC’ers here, hoping someone can return the favour 🙏 Thanks if anyone is able to help out. Cheers Slappy. Edited January 26 by oldslapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy_r Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 No chance of borrowing back your DB from the school for a night/weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 You might want to re-post this in the Double Bass and EUB forum, might get some more relevant views there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Thank you to all who contacted me with offers of DBs, what a wonderful community this is. I’m taking up young @BreadBin offer. Me and Brendon have a long history of handing each other instruments 😂 Cheers all! John 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
